[QUOTE="brian.betteridge, post: 76217, member: 8735"]I'll try the Balun, but it's brand-new and it does have a rubber boot on it. Here's my TVFool report: [url=http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d3cf43ed04b0488]TV Fool[/url] I have the RCA ANT751 antenna. What's really bothering me is that last week I had near-perfect reception of 35 channels, now I get crappy reception of 12. My current highest signal quality is 45%, whereas last week I was getting most of my signals at a 85-90% quality and the worst I got was about 50% and those still came in clearly. I was getting signals from Scranton and NJ, all of which are at greater range than the Philly channels and in complete opposite directions. Now I'm only getting the Allentown channels. Last night I had NBC, PHL and Fox (although very poorly). I also just got an email from my wife and she says there are only 6 coming in, and NBC FOX and PHL are gone. I wonder if something is failing...maybe I should pick up a new Balun anyway?[/QUOTE]
